The March Continues

Another week in the books. I have gotten over the change in vocations and am now heavily emersed in my new business venture. I feel like I have less time now then I had when I had a full time job. Business cards, business plans, investment capital, web sites, email, personnel, etc. It makes for very long days....but I'm happy! My children have noticed a difference in me and like the new me. It will be easy to get lost in my venture, so I have to keep focused on the things that are important. My new associate (Jeanie) is on fire with this job. She is doing the sales and marketing and is doing a bang up job. I'm working on fliers and the business plan.

The last weekend of the term is this Saturday. I have a great deal of school work to finish. A new term starts in two weeks. It is the last term and I'm pretty excited about that. Just think, less than three months I will be a graduate (that's seven more class days). Wow!

Day of the 'Stach


Today is day one of the 'Stach! I need to get a picture of before. I shaved the stach off for my job. One of those rebellion-loyalty things. I'm past that now and I liked the stach. So I'm bringing it back. I think the grandkids will like it. It's a special thing I want to do because...

So the first week was tough. I have been sick with a cold and in a real funk! I sit in my office and just look at everything...get depressed and go down and spend the day watching TV. Not a good thing. I think I'm better. Yesterday was a turning point. I spent some time talking things out and I think things are going to be better. I still have some major hurdles to overcome. The first is to put the severance in the books and get it behind me. Second is to get on focus. I have lead such a rich life and am surrounded by some of the most loving people in the world that want to help me. Now all I have to do is let them. One of the things I do well (which is bad) is to clam-up and not let anyone in to help. I'm better now...really. When I get over my cold, I will go into the office at the church and work out of there. It makes me get up and keeps me from wasting the rest of my life in front of a TV. My grandfather would be disappointed in the hours/days I waste being a zombie on the couch. It's just so.......captivating.
So what is in the future? Get the package finalized and in the books? Yes! Get a job? Fix the bulldozer? Focus on my life goals? Get BioRICHTM up and running? Get my degree? Be a Consultant? Hmmmmmmm???? All of them? One thing I know is I am too young and too poor to retire. It's time to live!
